Steve Mosow and Barb McGraw recently generously donated their three lots in town (appraised at $58,000) near the Bayfield School to the Conservancy.  The lots border a steep ravine just south of the school.  A deed restriction will be placed on the property to protect the ravine before the Conservancy sells the two lots. If you are interested in purchasing the lot contact the Conservancy and know that in buying the land you are helping preserve special places in our region in a big way.

The Conservancy is in awe by the generosity of the Bayfield community and greatly appreciates the kindness show by its members.  Thank you Steve and Barb for helping the Conservancy continue its mission to protect special places!

We are again, upon the time of year when the "Big Lake" begins its annual freeze, opening up all kinds of fun outdoor recreational activities.  My personal winter outdoor must do list includes,  venturing out on the Lakeshore trail at Meyers Beach to see the sea caves, ice skating along the inlet at Little Bay State Park and cruising along the Jerry Jolly Trail on my xc skis or snowshoes.  Sunlight will be growing as we head into January making it even more important to take advantage of all those blue sky days.  When the moon is full or the night sky twinkling down on us we can ski/snowshoe around the peninsula taking in the crisp air. This is my most favorite time of year. 
Signing off until next time,
